Become a skilled, confident dog groomer with our hands-on City and Guilds courses. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your skills further, we'll give you the training and real-world experience to build a meaningful career.
All of our courses are taught with no more than two students per tutor. That means close, personal guidance, real feedback, and the time to learn at your own pace. Our tutors have competed at dog grooming competitions in the UK and Europe, and that standard sets the level we teach to.
From the moment you start, you'll be part of the team, working on real client dogs under the guidance of experienced professionals. You'll develop the technical skills the qualification demands, and gain a real understanding of how a successful grooming salon operates day to day. You'll leave with the skills to work in a professional salon, and the knowledge to run your own.
Yes, from day one. You train on our own clients' dogs inside the working salon, under the guidance of experienced groomers.
All our courses lead to City and Guilds qualifications, the most widely recognised credentials in the dog grooming industry.
Level 2 covers the foundations: bathing, drying, coat preparation, handling, and basic trimming, enough to work as a grooming assistant. Level 3 takes you to full professional standard, with styling and finishing, health and safety, client care, and the knowledge to run your own salon.
No. Our Level 2 Certificate and our Fully Qualified course are both built for people with no previous experience. The standalone Level 3 Diploma is the exception, as it requires a City and Guilds Level 2 first.
If you're completely new to grooming, Fully Qualified takes you all the way through, both levels in one seamless course, and works out cheaper than taking them separately. The Level 2 Certificate is the lighter first step if you want to start as a grooming assistant. The Level 3 Diploma is for groomers who already hold their Level 2 and want to qualify fully. Still unsure? Get in touch and we'll talk it through.
